We're sticking with hard-hitting themes for this month's book club. Family, grief, poverty, adoption... There's plenty for you to think about and discuss. But you've got to read the book first!

How to Save a Life by Sara Zarr

Jill grew up in a close, loving family. But since her dad died, she's been shying away from everyone who wants to help her come to terms with it: friends, family, boyfriend. She's grieving, and is angry that her mum seems to want to replace her father by adopting another child.

When she falls pregnant, Mandy has no one to turn to - her mother didn't want a child, she never knew her father. But she knows what family means and she's determined to give her child a sense of it than she had.

As the two girls meet, both must question what family really means to them - and work out whether they can ever be part of the same one.
